Chapter 232: Meritorious
"I think, I'm afraid that the third prince will directly ascend to the throne this time."
"That's a good feeling, so we are all the people of the Three Princes. I used to look forward to the three princes day and night being able to lead the troops to conquer the capital sooner. ”
A few days later.
The Imperial Study.
Li Zhen sat on the dragon chair with a pale face, and the prime minister and others were also there.
"Pass the three princes." Li Zhen instructed the great eunuch.
Soon, Li Xingchen came over.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Except for Li Zhen, everyone saluted.
Now that the situation has been clear, it is estimated that there is no one to sit in the position of the crown prince except for the three princes.
In the past two days, the prime minister has vented his bitterness in front of Li Zhen, including the refugee incident, and implied that Li Zhen should make Li Xingchen the crown prince.
Of course, the premise is that you have to apologize to Li Xingchen first.
Otherwise, with Li Xingchen's character, he would definitely not agree to it as he did when he announced the restoration of his imperial status last time.
Li Xingchen looked around indifferently, and his gaze was finally fixed on Li Zhen.
Li Zhen stood up tremblingly, these things gave him too much blow, and he grew a lot faster.
"Li Xingchen, do you want to be the prince?" Li Zhen said in a deep voice.
Li Xingchen chuckled, "Does it matter if you want to or not?" ”
Li Zhen looked at him calmly, and I don't know how long it took, and laughed with relief.
"It's my fault, I was very wrong from the beginning, I have no eyes, I don't know people clearly. I was so mediocre that the people were innocently implicated.
Stardust, this time you have a meritorious service, I have decided to retreat from you! ”
Rumble!
These words were like a bomb that exploded in the imperial study, making the prime minister and others look incredible.
Just want the Son of Heaven to take advantage of the situation to establish the third prince as the prince, why is he going to abdicate directly?
Li Xingchen was taken aback, he wanted to be the emperor, but let him be so easy? What trick is Li Zhen playing?
In any case, Li Zhen is his biological father, and if he doesn't have a little father-son love in his heart, it will be fake.
Now seeing Li Zhen's gray hair and haggard face, saying such words again will inevitably make Li Xingchen sentimental for a while.
"Do you have any opinions?" Li Zhen said in a deep voice, followed by two coughs.
"Your Majesty, your physical condition has been getting worse and worse recently, and it is good to abdicate early and let the third prince ascend the throne. In the future, Lao Chen will accompany you to play chess, soak in hot springs, drink tea, and cultivate sentiment. The prime minister took the lead.
Li Zhen coughed violently again.
His physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he originally relied on the precious medicinal materials in the palace to nourish and nourish, and he can barely maintain it.
However, after being imprisoned for so long, he has not been nourished, and his mentality has fluctuated greatly, and he is in a hurry, and he feels that he is afraid that his life will not be long.
What else is there to see today?
Give the throne to Li Xingchen, he is relieved.
In fact, even if you can't see it, the final result is not the same, everyone has to go to the Hades Palace to report.
Look back at the road you've traveled.
I've done things I regret, but overall it's okay.
"Please ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince to ascend the throne and become the new emperor of Great Wei." Led by the prime minister, everyone knelt down towards Li Xingchen.
Go out now, find a random person, and ask them if they support Li Xingchen's ascension, I'm afraid no one will say a word.
In the past dynasties, Li Xingchen is the only one who can mobilize thousands of troops without the need for a tiger talisman, which is enough to prove how much his great exploits and deeds are recognized by the people and soldiers.
Although they don't say it, they almost regard him as a person they can rely on.
"You go out first, I have something to talk to the emperor alone."
Li Xingchen didn't agree directly, frowned, and waved his hand to let the prime minister and the others go out.
After letting go of the estrangement, Li Zhen saw how satisfied Li Xingchen was, and smiled.
"Do you have other ideas?"
In the past, what Li Zhen regretted the most was giving birth to such a rebel.
Now he is most satisfied with giving birth to such a good son.
The contrast between the front and back is huge.
Now, the crown prince and the third prince conspired with the eldest princess to let go of their unforgivable mistakes, and were punished and assigned to the frontier, served three years of hard labor, and then demoted to commoners.
As for the eldest princess, she was the empress of Wu, and after Li Xingchen verbally reprimanded her, he sent someone to send her back to Wu.
As for how the Emperor of Wu will punish her after she goes back, it is none of Li Xingchen's business, the other party will generally see that for the sake of Da Wei, he will not dare to punish the eldest princess particularly excessively.
"You're so willing to abdicate? Emperor Lao'er, this is not your character. Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Li Zhen's mentality, how can he be willing to be the emperor?
And in a country, it is impossible to have two kings, but don't make trouble behind your back when the time comes.
Although the status of the right thing is important.
But he Li Xingchen is different from others, even if he sends troops to attack him, no one will say that he is plotting to usurp the throne, chaotic ministers and thieves, but he can succeed to the throne by normal means, of course he does not want to add more trouble
Li Zhen coughed again.
Li Xingchen saw that something was wrong with him, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm afraid I won't live long, so I decided to hand over Dawei to you completely."
Li Xingchen was taken aback, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Zhen gasped, "The old injuries accumulated when I fought the world in the past are now rebounding in one go.
I'm also getting older, so it's really time to retire and recuperate, so that I can live a little longer, and it's good to be the emperor. ”
Li Xingchen thought for a moment, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore, you can arrange it." ”
After that, after the father and son said a few more casual words, Li Xingchen left the imperial study.
As he left, Li Zhen once again asked the prime minister and others to come in, and in the presence of everyone, he wrote down a holy decree of Zen.
The ministers originally wanted Li Zhen to make Li Xingchen the crown prince, but the other party directly gave way to Li Xingchen.
The mood is different, and the mind cannot be changed.
In a short time, the decree was taken out and proclaimed to the world.
For a time, this news centered on the capital and slowly spread out in all directions.
The fact that Li Xingchen was about to become the new emperor of Great Wei silenced everyone, and then erupted in fanatical cheers.
"Emperor Lao'er has finally figured it out, and our beloved third prince is finally going to succeed to the throne justifiably."
"If you want me to say that the emperor Lao'er is doing this too much, is it important for him to let him not give way? The three princes want to be the throne very simple. ”
"Hey, what do you know, although we all love the three princes, but without the approval of the emperor Lao'er, the three princes are called Mou Dynasty and usurped the throne, in case it is recorded in the history books by the historian who is not long-sighted, after adding oil and vinegar, the three princes will not be left stinking for 10,000 years?"
"When you can be justified, you still have to be right, otherwise there will be too many in the future!"
The newspaper factory was the first to receive the decree.
